A semi-biased commentary on British and American politics, culture and current affairs

From one soon-to-be independent country to our dear ally, today celebrating 240 years of glorious freedom

A very happy Fourth of July to all of my American readers.

Given recent events, I would also invite those Americans (I’m thinking here of President Obama and the political and economic elites who have the New York Times as their mouthpiece) celebrating their wonderful country’s independence today while looking on Brexit as some kind of terrible catastrophe to ask themselves why they would deny their closest and most reliable ally the same sovereignty and freedom which they rightly demand for themselves.

As America celebrates today, so we in Britain celebrate soon being able to join in the proclamation that “this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.”
